Description: In this linocut, two doves, white against a black background, face one another. The birds bend their heads toward one another, without touching beaks. Their detailed feathers are defined in white as well—larger feathers on the wings, and a downier-looking texture on the rest of the body. Between them are a series of white concentric circles—a solid white circle in the middle, surrounded by black, enclosed in either a white or patterned ring. "Carmelo" is signed in the bottom left corner. Below the birds heads, the word "me" on the right is mirrored on the left as "we."
